Me looking at a drawer of specimens with Dr. Jing-Fu Tsai. The corridor is lined with wooden drawers of varying amounts per column.

Hi y'all! I'm back from #Wikimania in Nairobi! Here's a cheetah eating some kind of ungulate :)

In anticipation of #Wikimania2025, here is my favourite wikipedia meme.
Tumblr post with two pictures of dubious blurry food, a casserole? On the left and cake? On the right. Caption reading "when me and my boyfriend make meals we have a tradition of sending each other unappetizing off-centre photographs of them in poor lighting. We call this "wikipedia food".

Babe, wake up. Anxious snails just dropped

1/3 First evidence of anxiety in snails

They exhibit fear responses hours after the source of their anxiety is removed. These responses can be reduced with an anxiolytic, such as alprazolam. They have also demonstrated high-level learning.

Finally photos (1st ever?) of a living Liebelia, the other (non-Diplolepis) genus of rose gall wasp that's endemic to Asia. We've confirmed it is L. fukudae, previously only known in Japan, so new genus record for China thanks to @inaturalist.bsky.social
